Purpose: The present study aims to conduct a literature review on the various methods explored to enhance the quality of AlSi10Mg parts manufactured via the Selective Laser Melting (SLM) process. Specifically, the research focuses on identifying strategies for reducing the porosity level in SLM-fabricated AlSi10Mg parts. Considering the highly competitive nature of the market in which SLM technology is employed, improving part quality is necessary to ensure business continuity and maintain a competitive edge. Design/methodology/approach: The present study offers a comprehensive examination of the SLM process, particularly emphasising the diverse parameters that can influence the porosity rate in SLM-fabricated parts. By providing a detailed description of the SLM process, we highlight the intricacy of this technology and discuss the significance of various parameters. Furthermore, we present a literature review of prior research on SLM, summarising the studied parameters and their impact on porosity. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the SLM process and the parameters that affect the density of SLM-fabricated parts. Findings: The present study aims to identify research opportunities in the field of SLM technology. One particularly promising area of investigation is exploring the correlation between scan direction and the porosity rate in SLM-fabricated parts. This research seeks to enhance our understanding of the relationship between these two parameters and their potential impact on the quality of SLM-fabricated parts. Practical implications: By reducing porosity, industries such as aerospace and aeronautics can attain enhanced performance through mechanical system optimisation. Originality/value: The present study summarises the various methods previously investigated for reducing the porosity rate in parts manufactured using the SLM process. Additionally, it proposes new avenues for achieving further parameter optimisation to attain higher levels of quality.

The feasibility study to join the laser powder bed fused AlSi10Mg alloy sheets using different friction stir welding parameters was investigated in the present work. Fifteen butt-welded joints using varied parametric combinations were developed based on the design of the experiment's approach. An empirical model between the process parameters and tensile strength was developed and used to understand the mechanical behavior of the welded joints w.r.t. the FSW parameters, followed by the attainment of optimized welding conditions using response surface methodology. The results inferred that the weldability was most significantly influenced by the tool rotational speed, followed by the tool tilt angle and tool traverse speed. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the optimized welded joint were compared with the as-built alloy and the welded joint yielding minimum tensile strength. The electron back scattered diffraction analysis revealed the reduction of average grain size of the stir zone of the joints by 21% for the optimized weld, as compared to the as-built alloy. The welded zones of the joints showed a reduction in hardness by 40-50% and formed the stir zone as the weakest link. The parametric combinations of the optimized weld improved the joint efficiency by ≈ 20% compared to the other weld, followed by an improvement in ductility, which was further characterized using scanning electron microscopy.

Co-Cr-Mo based sheet I-WP lattice was fabricated via laser powder bed fusion. The effect of microstructure and the I-WP shape on compressive mechanical response was investigated. Results of compression test showed that yield strength of the sheet I-WP was 176.3 MPa and that of bulk Co-Cr-Mo (reference material) was 810.4 MPa. By applying Gibson-Ashby analytical model, the yield strength of the lattice was reversely estimated from that of the bulk specimen. The calculated strength of the lattice obtained was 150.7 MPa. The shape of deformed lattice showed collective failure mode, and its microstructure showed that strain-induced martensitic transformation occurred in the overall lattice. The deformation behavior of additively manufactured sheet I-WP lattice was also discussed.
